Topic: Huge profit in simulation and only losses in trading.
Why is it that all strategies that show good profit in Builder, behave entirely differently in Trader?
They mostly lose. What the heck?
I've attached some examples.

This one needs previous bar autocontrol to be off.
This also need that setting off.
Prove for HA
This also need that setting off.
why does it need that setting off - otherwise the equity curve doesn't go straight up or any other reason?
that's right. Otherwise it will lose.
But the one called "OK Bar_Range_EUR_USD_M15_Time_Filter v1.xml" shows good results with "auto" on, yet it still loses in real conditions
Well, previous bar value (PBV in short) is there for a reason, it might look like "magic profit button", but that is NOT the case. It is there to ensure reliable backtest - in your HA strat you turned it off because it makes profit, but of course it makes money when it knows the future! Does it know what is going to happen next in live trading - you know the answer already to this question.
The bottom line is keep PBV usage on if you want real testing results.
About your first strat - where the hell did you dig up Bar Range Bands indi?
